A Rebel Generals Boots.

Kilpatrick's cavalry was in advance
of the left wing, and during the day
some of the skirmishers had come sud
denly upon GEN. Rhett, accompanied
by few Of his men, and captured him.
Rhett before the war had been one Of
the editors Of the Charleston Mercury,
one of the strongest secession papers
of the south. He was sent by kilpat-
rick to Gen. Sherman. Sherman while
stationed in Charleston before the war
had been acquainted with Rhett, and,
not wishing to have him under his inn
mediate charge, he sent him TO me.
Rhett spent that night in my tent, and
as | had also been stationed Mt Fort
Moultrie in 1854 and 1896 and had
often met him, we had long chat
over old times and about common ac-
quaintauces in Charleston The fol-
lowing morning Rhett was sent to the
rear in charge Of the cavalry He
was handsomely dressed in the con-
federate uniform, with pair of high
boots beautifully stitched Tie was
deeply mortified at having been COB
hled up without chance to fight.
One of my stan told me That he saw
Rhett a few days later trudging along
under guard, but tine beautiful boots
were missing-a soldier had exchanged
very coarse pair Of army shoes for
thom. Bbett said chat in all his trouble
he had one consolation. that of know
ING that no one Of Sherman's men
could yet ON those boots. $ The Cen

THE JONES CASE.
IFYBcT OF TIE RECENT DECISION OF
The SUPREME COURT OF APPEALS.
Views Of Attorney. General Ayers - Diff
ference Between This Case and
Royals. &c &C.

Attorney-G General Ayers was asked
Yesterday what effect the decision of
the Supreme Court of Appeals in the
Jones case would have upon the collec-
ton of license taxes. He replied that
the court had very successfully distin-
Qriished the Jones case from the case OF
Royal against Virginia, decided 10y the
Supreme Court of the United States
last January. The statute under which
Royal rendered coupons absolutely for
bade the receipt of coupons for license
taxes in any way. The statute under
which Jones was prosecuted directs that
the coupons shall be received, and when
they are identified and verified that the
license shall issue, and does not require
prepayment in money.
The effect, said the Attorncy-General,
will be that the hcense-taXes will be
paid in money. Businessmen, for the
sake of making n few dollars, viii not
subject themselves to a criminal prose
cution. All persons who have been
doing business without license will ut
soncc he indicted or information will be
fled against them. Mr.. Ayers said,
too, that the decision Of the Supreme
Court must he respected 10y all the sn-
bordinate courts, both State and Fede-
raj; that there is no way i'll which
prisoner held for trial or convicted in
a state court can obtain relief ex-
cept by appeal through the State
courts to the Supreme Court OF
Appeals, apd from that court to the
Supreme Cont Of the United States.
The Supreme Court Of the United
States, said he, decided in the cases OF
cr partc Royal that prisoner held
for trial in a State court could not be
released on bGbcOS cOJ7)Us by the
United States Court, but must prosecute
his appeal through the state courts
Eoyall had been indicted for practicing
law in coupon cases without license,
and had been arrested. he applied to

so Says the Danvtlic Directors
About the General Offices.


Major James II. Dooley, second vice
president of the Richmond and Dan
Vile Railroad Company, has recently
returned from New York, and Mr. James
b. Pace, who, like the Major, is largely
interested in both this and the Termi-
nal company, returned night before
last At q meeting of the panyllle
Board held in New York while these
gentlemen were there the following was
adopted
Hcsolrcd. That it is the sense of this
board that the Offices OF the president
and first vice-president and all business
appertaining thereto be removed to
New York, and that the operating de
pnrtment I've removed to Richmond,
Va, and that the Executive Committee
be authorized to carry out this policy.
The following offices, it IS stated,
will certainly be removed to Richmond:
Auditor BARRIERS, with a large clerical
force: Treasurer Turner's, General
Freight-Agent brakes, and General
Passeneer-Agent Taylor's. The Office of
general counsel will also be i'll Rich
mond
II was thought that Genoral-ManaSer
Thomas would be required 90 come
back to Richmond, with the rest of the
officers: but since the East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia line has been
added to the Richmond and Danvillc
system, and the probability existing
that the Georgia Central viii also be
added. the Executive Committee OF the
Dantillc have allowed the generlimana-
ger to locate his headquarters to suit
himself. lie was to have visited the
president and first yice-president IN
New York the past week with reference
70 this matter; hut what decision, if
any, was reached has not yet been
made public.
The removal of the Offices to Rich
mond, it is stated, will be made Mt an
early day. Mr.. Pace and Major Doc
lev. like all the Richmond gentlemen
connected with the Danville system,
have left nothing undone to secure tins
removal. The towering and handsome
building purchased in Washington last
summer 10y Mr.. Huidekoper, III which
the general offices now are, will be
either leased or sold.
IT has been currently reported for
several days that the Terminal will soon
purchase the Georgia Central. Major
Dooley said to a Dispatchr reporter yes
terday that this is only matter OF
speculation. The bulk of the Central
stock is held iii New York. Its holders
have made no offer to the Terminal, nor
has It to them. How soon one or the
other may make proposal IS not
known. The Terminal directors have
not decided upon any action to be taken
in the matter The general belief
ard no doubt the prohability-is that
the Terminal will have the Central be-
fore spriup.
